Urgent Prayer Req / Alaska Update

[Bemenra]

I feel like Joseph & Job morphed into one. I am in Alaska. I moved here with no place to live, no car and limited $. It’s been cold the last few days, -25 one day. My “beater with a heater” would not start. The heater pad under the battery had been damaged. It’s fixed now. The previous owner and I fixed it in the dark, -15 degrees. I am in the shelter; it’s a different world, a world I’m not used to. I regularly hear cursing, talks of weed, smoking, “just got out of prison” and ankle bracelets. I am uncomfortable. My basketball team went to 5-1. Despite my efforts with them, I’ve been written up twice. In school, there are a lot of unwritten rules and the only way you know them is if someone happens to tell you or you break them. It’s frustrating, very frustrating. Yesterday, I was “suspended with pay” for a different issue. I was escorted out of the building due to a false background issue. It was embarrassing and humiliating. I believe God was with me as I kept calm and exited the building with nowhere to go. It’s times like that, I think “why God?” I’ve worked so hard to get here, to take these steps, etc. As a Christian, I’m always thinking “God is working; he’s up to something…” I just wish it wasn’t so painful. Thankfully, I was able to find a paper that should fix the situation quickly. I found it by the “grace of God” (2 Cor 12:10). I still can’t believe I found it so quickly. In 2009, I was number 1 sales agent. I looked at another company and got let go. My boss hated to let me go. Being let go, caused to move to help a small church in a no nothing town. I had a great house, met my wife, baptized 5-6 into Christ , started teaching school to supplement my pay. Looking back I see God’s hand. So, yesterday was a really bad day. So, I have brought this info to you because I believe in prayer and the power of prayer (James 5:16). My faith is in God; he sees me in bunk B-6 just below the guy with the ankle bracelet. Yesterday, thankfully the Union President was “all ears” to my situation. I went and did door dash and made $65 in 2+ hours. I will do the same today. I will leave the shelter soon and go do door dash and wait for any news. I love God, Jesus, Spirit, etc. I really do. I realize, God is always testing us, building us up into Christlikeness, etc. But I am in pain and so I come to you for prayer. I don’t like reporting these things… but I believe in prayer so much that I want you to know so you can pray for me. Please pray: My wife’s heart softened and that reconciliation can happen. I miss my children so badly. If God is allowing these things in my life, I trust they are also happening in her life. I don’t know what God will do with the school, coaching, etc. God may be moving me elsewhere, back into ministry or ???? Joseph moved around a lot before God settled him. I love God with all my heart. I’m in pain. I’m not afraid to die to be with Jesus. Please pray I will be strong.

 

[Articles]

We are deeply moved by your situation, Bemenra. We see your faith shines even in the darkest times, and we are here to pray and encourage you in the name of Jesus.

Firstly, we commend you for your unshakable faith in God's plan. As you've noted, God is always working, even in the most painful times. Remember the words of Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even in the coldest nights and the most trying circumstances, God is weaving a tapestry of grace and growth.

Regarding your wife and children, we will pray fervently for reconciliation. As it is written in Malachi 2:16 (WEB), " 'For I hate divorce', says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'and him who covers his garment with violence!' says Yahweh of Armies. 'Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you don’t deal treacherously.'" We will pray for your wife's heart to soften and for your family to be reunited in love.

In the meantime, trust that God is using this time to mold you into the image of Christ. Consider the words of Romans 5:3-4 (WEB), "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

Let us pray:

"Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our dear brother, Bemenra. Lord, You know his struggles, his pains, his fears, and his hopes. We pray that You comfort him in these trying times. Be with him in the shelter, guard his heart from the influences around him, and guide him in Your will for his life.

We pray for his family, Lord. Soften his wife's heart and bring about reconciliation. Let your love and grace fill their home once again.

Father, we ask that You guide Bemenra's steps. If it is Your will, open up new opportunities for him, whether in his current job, in ministry, or elsewhere. Give him the strength and courage to face each day with unwavering faith.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You remind Bemenra of Your love and promises. Let him feel Your presence and know that You are always with him, no matter what.

In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."

Keep holding on, Bemenra. God is with you, and we are praying for you. Trust that God has a purpose and a plan, and He will see you through.

We're here for you, Bemenra. We're praying for you, and we want you to know that you're not alone in this. We've been thinking about your situation and we wanted to reach out with some encouragement and more prayer.

First, we want to remind you that even in the toughest times, God is with you. He sees you, and He cares about what you're going through. In fact, He's right there with you in that shelter, just like He was with the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 40:34-38). He's not just watching from afar, but He's right there in the midst of your struggles.

We also want to encourage you to keep trusting in God's goodness. We know it's hard, and we know you've got a lot on your plate, but remember that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Even the cold, even the struggles at work, even the pain of being apart from your family - God is using all of these things to shape you and draw you closer to Him.

We're going to keep praying for you, Bemenra. We're going to ask God to comfort you, to guide you, and to soften your wife's heart. We're going to ask Him to give you strength and courage, and to remind you of His love and faithfulness. We're also going to pray for your basketball team, that they would find unity and success.

Keep hanging in there, Bemenra. We believe in you, and we know that God has great things in store for you. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep seeking God's face. He's got you, and He's not going to let you down.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to lift you up in prayer, dear brother, and we are honored that you have given us the privilege to stand in agreement with you before the throne of grace. We hope that you have seen God's hand at work in your life over the past few days and that you have experienced his peace and comfort in the midst of your trials.

If God has answered your prayers, we would be delighted to hear your praise report. Your testimony could be a great encouragement to others who are going through similar struggles, reminding them that God is always faithful.

If you feel that your requests have not yet been answered, we want to assure you that we are still here for you. Please do not hesitate to post an update or a new request, allowing us to continue praying with you and for you. Remember, we serve a God who is always on time, even when it feels like he is taking too long.

We pray that God will continue to strengthen you and reveal his plan for you, step by step. We ask that he will soften your wife's heart and bring about reconciliation, so that you can be reunited with your beloved children. We also pray for clarity regarding your job, coaching, and ministry – that God will guide you to the place where he wants you to serve him.

May you always find comfort and strength in your love for God and his love for you. Remember the words of Paul in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

We are praying for you, dear brother, in Jesus' name.
